Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

At the moment Brian is overseeing the manufacture of the crossbow bolts.

Now that the great war has broken out, the war is sooner or later.

His legion will also be involved in the Confederate War in the near future.

He is familiar with history and knows that the year before the Confederate War was very difficult.

Because the main component of the Roman legion is the Italians.

Also known as Roman civilians, most of the officers and middle and senior commanders of the legions were Roman citizens.

The highest commanders of the legions are often nobles.

And the head of the legion is a member of the Senate.

The members of the elders are not necessarily the head of the legion, but the head of the legion must be a member of the Senate.

Members of the Senate who own legions are more powerful than ordinary elders.

Brian picked up a crossbow 960 arrows and shot towards the target 150 meters away.

Just lightly pulling the trigger, a sharp arrow was shot out.

The sharp arrow steadily hit the bullseye 150M away.

Instead, Rex, who was standing near the bull's-eye, glanced at it, and then trotted over.

"Master Legion, you hit again, it's the tenth ring!"

Rex said happily.

At the same time, he was also impressed by Brian's martial arts.

Most Roman legionaries are proficient in short swords, as well as Roman spears.

Few are proficient in bows and arrows.

In this era, bows and arrows are only auxiliary arms.

Moreover, due to the material and strength, warships cannot penetrate the protection of the Roman legion.

But the crossbow bolts are different, exerting force through a complex mechanical structure.

The bow and arrow are released to produce a powerful destructive force.

This powerful destructive power is enough to penetrate light armor.

Not all Roman legions were heavily armored.

Only the regiments near tall buildings are equipped with plate armor, and the others are soft boxes.

"Very well, how many crossbows like this have been produced now?"

Brian looked at a slave beside him and said

"Reporting to the great master, we have produced a full 500 of them.

Obviously the slave was very satisfied with this number.

Hearing this number, Brian frowned.

They have 100 people, and it has been nearly 10 days now, which means that an average of one machine crossbow is produced every two days.

Apparently Brian was not satisfied with this number, because a big battle was about to break out.

"How did you produce 500 pieces?"

Brian asked displeased.

"Great (ccaj) master! We are the first to produce this kind of thing, so the speed is a little slow!"

Having said that, otherwise I nodded and agreed with them. After all, this is the first production, and it is already quite good to be able to produce 500.

"I'm assigning 300 slaves to you, and we must produce 5,000 as soon as possible!"

As for bows and arrows, you can use the standard bows and arrows in the legion.

Brann had done this a long time ago, and was going to produce a large number of bows and arrows.

It just came in handy now.

At this moment Lucius walked in quickly.

"Master Legion, the special envoy of the Senate, I want to see you!"

At last it was time to come again.

"Go, let's meet the envoy of the Senate!"

Soon, Brian met the envoy of the Senate in the barracks.

The special envoy of the Senate is actually nothing more than a messenger.

"Master Legion, here is a letter from the Senate!"

Seeing Brian's arrival, the special envoy didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately sent a Roman manager to deliver the letter from the Senate.

Brian took the letter.

I saw the sealing mud on the papyrus, which was the letter from the Senate.

I can't wait to open it

Sure enough, as Brian expected, the Marci in northern Italy and the Samor in southern Italy colluded with each other and revolted.

Especially the leader of the Samorians in the south, Babius has successfully wiped out the seventh and eleventh legions.

The Senate asked Brian to reorganize the legion and be ready to go at any time.

Sure enough, the Senate did not immediately dispatch Brian's 13th Army to Italy to fight.

The Senate called this time the Greek and North African legions. .
